Sarah Morin I put on a crisp blue button down , my new gray skirt along with my knee sox and dress shoes. I was excited for my new school and all the opportunity to meet new people and make friends.I had a tough time in middle school making friends and was ready to start new like alll the other freshman and make more friends at my new school. I was going to a catholic school a half hour away from my house and only knew a few kids who were going there I was excited for all new friendships I would build, that did not go as planed
My freshman classes were full of girls who all knew each other from middle school. They were not dedicated to there studied and often went to class drunk. This group of girls only cared about money and how much you were wearing costs. I did not expect this from my high school because It was a very selective high school and I thought everyone would be as dedicated to there studies as me. I did not get along with any of the girls and did not have classes with other people so I could not make friends. I worked really hard to get our of the easy classes so I could get away from the girls I didn't like. in the higher level classes the students cared alot about here schooling and wanted to due well like me. I made it to the higher-level classes that helped me stay on track so I could make it to college and stay focused on my work and not focus on my lack of friends.
I tried to get involved and make friends by joining the schools gymnastics team. The team was 11 girls and there were only two freshman. I was not good and never competed in meets so It was hard for me to connect with the other girls who already had there cliques and did not want to change. This lead to even more stress about not having friends and feeling lost in my school.
Things changed when I started doing art at high school. I met a lot of nice girls through my sophomore art class and later in my junior year I met my some of my best friends at school in my art class. Because of my involvement in the arts I gained more friends and because I gained more friends I was able to experience more things like going on a weekend retreat with members of my class and going to plays at my school. I often hung out with my friends on the weekends and we would go to party’s or special events together. I loved my friends that I made at my high school
I am no longer in high school and I have already started to fall away from my friends because we are no longer going to school together. The lessons I learned form theses friends about myself and about my need for friendship are still relevant to my life today. I learned lot through high school and learned a lot about making friends and being truthful with yourself . I learned how to make true friends
